To allwlwm 'it/may conciernen' i Be it known that I, VINSOR JossnLYNacitizen 'of the United States, and a resident,

of Carmel, in the countyof Monterey and State of California, haveinvented'a'new and Improved Cigarette .Holder, of which the followingisa full, clear, land exactrde.- scription. n

This` invention. relates to cigarette and cigar holders andmoreparticularly'to a cigarette or cigar stub ejector device :used inconnection with cigarette andi' cigar mouthpieces.

`An object of the invention is yto provide al cigar vor cigarette stubor buttl ejector device whichr maybe inserted inthe mouthpiece oftheholder for forcibly removing the cigarette or cigar stubl from themouthpiece without the necessity of the smoker using his knife 4orother` implement forgouging and reinovingthe stub end of the burnedcigar or cigarette from theholder. Itis also` an 0bject to provide anejector devicewhich acts to clean the 'opening or channel through thecigar; or cigarette holder at the'ftime it is operated to eject thestub. a

It is a c further object. to provide a` smokers accessory of i thecharacter 1 de-` scribed wliiclinis comparatively.inexpensive to'produce, simple to Vmanufacture, ornaimental in nature,an.dwhichpositively functions toperform theaforesaid purposes.

Vith the above principal objects and advantages in view, the inventionhas relation to the ejector device as described in the followingspecification, set forth in the appended claims, and illustrated intheaccompanying drawings, wherein: j v

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a cigar or cigarette mouthpiecewith the ejecl tor mounted therein, and Figure 2 shows `a sectional viewthereof. I f .l

The Figures 3, 4 and 5 disclose the three major views of the ejectordevice removed from the mouthpiece.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, a cigar or cigaretteholder of conventional and ordinary design as is in daily use isdesignated by the reference character 7. This holder is constructed ofany suitable 4material provided with a smoke channel 8 drilled throughthe stem 7 and with an enlarged bore 9 formed in one end of the holder.The cigar or cigarette is thrust into the bore 9 and frictionally heldduring the smoking period.

- It the purpose of this invention to pro-I .j

vide av device 'which acts to 'positively remove the stubf'orv unsmokedend from the bore9 and withthisvin view the-ejector de` vice constructedin accordance with myinl' vention comprises an ejectorvwith a hook ononerend placed 'within the holder "to forcibly:

remove the stub displaced by the finger of the smoker.'` lA moredetailed descriptionof the ejector Ashows t a spring arm 12 'provided onone endv with a' scraper 14 and lontthe other end with a hook'15. v Astop 16 is made on the .ejector between the hook l15 [and spring arm 12.The-stop'w16;.is'.made; b v

bending'the spring arm712fto1form5an in? clineor any abutment adjacent-the vhook-115 in order that the cigar orcigarette may not f bethrust'by the stop 16` when inserted in the holder.

` The ejector deviceisinserted holdery 7 l as shownin Figure 2` bythrusting the scraper endA 14 into the smokechannel;

so@v f within the bore 9. VThe-*stop 16 thereforeVK blocks' the: bore 9l lagainst eifrcessive inward movement: of a cigarette within' the lholder. Thestop `1 6-isso arrangedlasto adequately admitv oftheinsertionl of la cigarette to 're-,k

tainit within-the holder but wi'lLpre-vent the vcigarette from beingthrust too far into the bore 9 as to prevent the burned end lfrom beingejected by the smokenj In use, the finger or thumb of the smoker I willgrasp the hookl Aand move it outwardly, at which time the burned end ofv the cigarette or cigar is forcibly ejected from the bore 9 by theactionjof the stop 16 moving against v f the unburned end or stub. Atthe same time the scraper 14 acts to scrape land clean the channel 8 ofburned. residue or injurious matter which may collect in the channel 8`incident to the combustion of tobacco. The device is therefore capableof cleaning out the holder simultaneouslywith the ejection of the burnedstub. ci

The ejector is constructed of any suitable material, preferably springbrass, spring cop'- j per, spring nickel, or any non-corrosive, metallicmaterial having sufficient resiliency `to enable it to conform to thebore of the mouthpiece when thrust into position. It is simple indesign, .formed of one-piece maten rial, and incapablev of getting outofworking order. The design, shape and sizeof the spring arm 12 is suchthat the passage of the smoke through the channel 8 will .not beimpeded. The use of the device renders it unnecessary for the smoker touse his iingers or other means for stubs from the holder. Thecombination ejector and cleaner Will-likewise be adapted for use inconnection with pipe stems for cleaning out the burned residue whichfrequently collects in the stem of a pipe. The invention is presented tofulfill the needs felt for a smokers utility'device of the characterdescribed. I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as nenT and desire 4tosecure by Letters Patent is l. The combination With a cigar or cigaretteholder having a longitudinal bore therethrough of abutt ejector mountedWithin said'bore, said ejector being provided with a scraping elementengaging the walls of the bore and-functioning to clean the same whenthe ejector is operated. i

2. A cigar and cigarette holder comprisingy in combination, avmouthpiece having an enlarged bore-and a reduced smoke channel, anejector device inserted in the mouth piece, a scraper made on theejector for cleaning the smoke channel, and a hook formed onthe ejector.

3. An ejector for use in connection with cigar and cigarette holderscomprising, a

flexible spring, a hook made on one end of the flexible spring, and ascrape-r made on the other end thereof such that the device will eject-the burned stub from the holder and simultaneously clean the holder. Y

4. An ejector device for use in connection with cigarette and cigarholders con'iprising` a flexible metallic spring arm, a stop maderemoving burned I on the-arm, a hook made adjacent the stop, and ascraper madeon the other end of the arm.

5.` A combination ejector and cleaner for use in connection with cigarand cigarette holders where the holder is provided with an enlarged borefor receiving the end of the cigar or cigarette, and is further providedwith a reduced smoke channel, said ejector and cleaner comprising, aflexible spring piece, a hook made on one end thereof for engaging theriin of the enlarged'bore of the holder, `a scraper made on the otherend thereof to project into the reduced bore, and a stop formed adjacentthe hook to thrust a 'cigar or cigarette end from the enlarged bore.

` G. The combination With a cigar or cigarette holder having alongitudinal bore therethrough of a butt ejector mounted therein andbeing capable of reciprocatory motion with respect thereto, and aresilient scraper element carried by said ejector, said scraper engagingthe Walls of the bore to frictionally retain the ejector in any one ofaplurality of-predetermined positions and to clean the `Walls of saidbore when the ejector is operated. y y

'7. The combination with a lcigar or cig.- arettey holder having alongitudinal bore therethrough of'a butt ejector mounted Within saidbore, means carried by said ejector ,and lying without said holder toreciprocate said ejector Within the bore, and a scraper carried by saidejector to frictionally engage the walls of the bore and functioning tosimultaneouslyret'ain the ejectorin any one of a plurality ofpredetermined positions and to frictionally cleanse said Walls isreciprocated.
